its a good thing you are just speculating and dont know what you are talking about. but i guess when you have been hoping for a sale for so long now you cant deny its happening. good luck to you on that.

I am hoping that everyone reading these posts understand that TDS is our parent company right now. Also, I would like to point out that USCC is not going away anytime soon. Let me point out how much the company is putting into itself lately. As most are aware we have just included St Louis and expanded central and midwest plans to include more local area. AKA...a lot of money went into both. Also, we have just opened a sixth customer care center which has become operational. AKA...more money. So now answer me this...why would uscc put money into something only to sell it off, keeping in mind the company we are speaking of is already our parent company? So maybe the name would change...unlikly, but it would be the same company already...
